Chelsea said to be confident on Remy and Fulham are linked with duo

The Sunday People say Fulham want Leeds United forward Matt Smith and Watford midfielder Lewis McGugan.

It is claimed that the Whites are looking to sign Smith for £1.4m and pair him with Ross McCormack, who left Elland Road to join them this summer.

McGugan is also said to be a target amid reports he has fallen out with Watford manager Beppe Sannino. Burnley and Rotherham are apparently interested in the former Nottingham Forest man as well.

Crystal Palace are set to beat QPR to the signing of West Ham midfielder Momo Diame, again according to the People.

Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has long been keen to bring in Diame but it is claimed that Eagles boss Neil Warnock has won the race to sign him. Hull were also reported to be interested.

Redknapp wants to sign Aaron Lennon as well as Andros Townsend from Tottenham, the Mail on Sunday claim.

The Daily Star Sunday say Redknapp is also looking to buy forward Fabio Borini from Liverpool.

Chelsea are extremely confident of signing Loic Remy from QPR despite Arsenal launching a late bid to capture the France striker, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
